lyrics

[Verse]
There's no direction, everyone's denying where they're from
This ship's not sailing, no one's making any waves
You've got to have something to say to make a noise
But if you've got nothing write an opinion page

I'd read all about it if I hadn't read it all before
I've read all about it if I hadn't read it all

[Chorus]
Have you ever heard of such luxury?
Avocado on toast and on-demand TV
How old do you have to be to get to see
The portal to your fantasy?

[Verse]
For all your words I switch off when I see the first is your name
You don't need me when you've got them
Patting you on the back when you say something clever
In an alternate universe

When the window moves you'll get left behind
When the window moves you'll see
When the window moves you'll get left behind
When the window moves you'll see

I'd read all about it if I hadn't read it all before
I've read all about it if I hadn't read it all

[Chorus]
Have you ever heard of such luxury?
Avocado on toast and on-demand TV
How old do you have to be to get to see
The portal to your fantasy?

[Outro]
Do you imagine with your fingers on the keys
Us sitting nodding approvingly?
Are you betting on repeat not think?
Are you betting on?
